Notes
I ran out to the Roxbury Mountain Gap and back for an 8 mile recovery from yesterday. It was very humid again, so I decided to leave the HRM home and just run by feel. The HRM definitely keeps me running easier, but until I ran without it I had no idea how much it affects my run. While I was out I only looked at the watch to hit the lap button when I passed my landmarks, whereas I'm realizing now how much I look at the watch when I'm trying to hold a heart rate. It's like when I drive and I am always looking down at the speedometer without even realizing it. I'll probably end up doing about half my runs with the HRM and half just by feel.
